Biased BBC

Thursday, January 22, 2009 Laban # A few links ... Guido pictures BBC correspondent and R5 presenter Anita Anand in her Obama hat. Squander Two asks if "some banks and a couple of car manufacturers being in trouble are stiffer challenges than September the 11th ?" And Dumb Jon reckons that "on the plus side, this does mean the week after the death of Princess Di is no longer the stupidest moment in modern pop culture".

He was there to make all the usual talking points about the great joy of now having the "President we wanted" but he did not miss the chance to have a good old swipe at Israel, insisting that it would have to deal with Hamas just as "we" had to deal with the IRA. This completely false analogy is consistently pushed by BBC talking heads and it blithely ignores the fact that whilst the IRA were indeed homicidal vermin even they did not seek to wipe every Protestant off the map. The BBC never gives space to those who hold this view although I know that the gospel of appeasement runs deep within the British political Establishment, and is an article of faith for the BBC.

The BBC coverage plays it up withgentle humour but can you imagine the treatment Bush would have got had he made such a gaffe? I wonder, for example, what the left-wing BBC chorus of "comedians" will have to say about this? In the age of Obama, the media whores comply with the narrative.

It strikes me that as this financial crisis deepens, those such as the BBC are taking the opportunity to advance their own agenda that the State should own everything, just as it owns the BBC. That way, the BBC secures its own parasitic position. Also, is it just me or is John McFall omnipresent on the BBC these days since he espouses the Statist values the BBC places such value upon.
